    Saw that and that is odd when you considered the game is getting good/great reviews. No movie or game is 100% loved.

        Can't really base the whole game off one aspect. I mean there are other issues, but 3-10 is wrong.

          Pretty embarrassing really. But that's where 2k puts majority their focus nowadays is marketing their 'elite' status.

            3 - 10 is completely unfair.

            I think people are spoiled, especially basketball gamers.

            The things some of the people within this community expect... When one takes them into consideration, in relation to other sport titles like Madden NFL, they are incredibly petty.

              Personally, I completely UNDERSTAND the VC argument (hell I hate loot crates in COD), but it shouldn't be the main reason as to why the score should be so low. IMHO, it was a bogus score.

              Yes, I recognize that there are actual bugs/glitches across various modes, but I think most of them can be addressed in a future patch.

                Id give them 7/10 because the game is great but the money grab tactics are a major turnoff.

                  Well I think 2K the company has gotten spoiled. They can roll out heavy micro transactions to a semi broken game and suffer only some bad reviews from it.

                    This was mentioned in another thread. It's kinda sad if you think about. The developers created a solid game this year (assuming that future patches don't ruin it), and their work is being overshadowed by the obvious VC money grab.

                    If you were to take out the VC, just imagine what type of scores it would get across the board.

                      This. It's cool if you want to ding the games score because of your feelings on VC. It is a part of the game afterall. But to totally dismiss the rest of the game and give a joke score like that only proves the review shouldn't be taken seriously. Especially when they want to give out scores as a "protest," not based on the quality of the product. These reviews matter on some level. I don't blame 2K one bit. Now if they had reviewed the game and found it lacking and gave it a 3 or whatever, cool. This stuff here though is over the top.

                        Wow, went to go find this 3/10 review y'all are speaking on and came across steam.com

                        The highest rated* annual sports title returns with NBA 2K18, featuring unparalleled authenticity and improvements on the court.*According to 2008 - 2016


                        Everyone and their mother gave it a bad score because of the money-grabbing.

                          If the VC really ruined the reviewer's experience that much then they have every right to give it a 3/10 score.

                          If you think the reviewer shouldn't be allowed to give a score that low based off of their own reasoning then you defeat the purpose of having multiple reviewers.

                              I'm happy with the overwhelming negativity towards the in your face money grabbing 2K put in this year's version, I was afraid other sports games would move towards this. Hopefully the message is clear
